ToALL YWHOM -IrMAY-CONCERN:

Be it knownv that'I, FRANK E'. DABR0W,Aoi` Bristol, in the county ofHartford, and State of Connecticut;

have in vented anew and improved Spittoon; and I do hereby declarethat;the following is :i full, clear, and' i exact descriptionthereof,which will enable others skilled in the Aart tomake and use thesame, reference vbeing had to the accompanying drawings, making-o, partof this specification, in \vhich 4 Figure' 1 is a perspective view of-myinvention. Figure 2 is atrunsvcrse section of the same. A A' denotes thecover, onupperpart of the spittoon. vkB denot'esthe cup, orlnn'cr partof' the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate likeparts.4 I, n A i I Myinvention consists in the use or employment ofraw' hidein themnnufacture'of `spittoon's. By theterm raw hide, I mean the untannedhides of neat strock,horseus, or enyfother animal.. -Simply removing thehair with lime, by sweating, or otherwise, is not considered tanning thehides.v

To make a sp'ittoon, I first satuate a raw-hide blank, by a. processpatented by me, Muy 1, 18.66, and press, oi-swage it in dies into 'anydesired shape. The cup B, or lower part of the spi'ttoon, is'pressed orswaged inv one piece, and the'cover, A, in another; ,Y

When thevspittoon is formed, it should be coated with usnit-ablewater-proof `paste or cement, and then painted or ornamented in anyproper manner. i I I A By making a spittoon with a cover, A, whichremoves, the spittoon can be easilycleansed, which is not the case withthe ordinary earthen ones. A

A A raw-hide spittoon cannot be broken,v and, ifmadelofsnitable stock,will hold amans Weight without changing its shape. It has all theadvantages claimed for rubber ones,-and none of the oli'ensive smell ofrubber, and 'can be made at a much less cost.4

By my invention, I produce an article for-spittoons, ata. smallcosh-that is strong` and durable, easy to clean, y

What I claim as new, and desire toi'secure by Letters Patent, isf- Theuse or employment of raw hide in the manu-facture of yspittoons.

and so light-that it will not hurt the toes of a'. gentlemaninslippersrit he chance tovstub -the'magainst it. v
